The meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska marked a significant turning point in contemporary geopolitics. For over three years since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Western powers have sought to weaken Russia through a comprehensive strategy of sanctions, military aid to […]
The Constitutional Court would likely have to rule on this hypothetical scenario due to 2020’s constitutional amendment prohibiting the cession of Russian territory except in certain cases. RT’s report on Steve Witkoff’s claim that Russia has made “some concessions” on territorial issues, which signal a “significant” shift towards “moderation”, prompted talk […]
Steve Witkoff, who was one of the six persons in the room when Trump met Putin at the Summit in Alaska, told Jake Tapper, on CNN’s Sunday “State of the Nation” show — and repeated it there several times — that Russian President Vladimir Putin effectively reversed his longstanding No-Ukraine-in-NATO […]
Not Really. The Guarantee Problem May Fail Under Scrutiny President Trump has offered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky security guarantees which Mr. Trump describes as “like Article V” of the NATO Treaty. Zelensky has apparently signed onto the Trump offer and potentially has agreed that some “territorial swaps” will be needed […]
The Ukrainian president lives in illusions. Everyone talks about it except the lazy. He tries to make demands that in no way correspond to what is happening on the battlefield.

Washington Abandons Support for a Ceasefire If you read the headlines in American and European newspapers you would conclude that the Alaska Summit failed. It did not. Washington changed direction and abandoned its support for a ceasefire. Here is Mr. Trump’s official statement: “A great and very successful day in […]
The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…One is probably […]
There is growing concern in Kiev about what is happening between Russia and the United States today. Undoubtedly, the Americans have managed to reach certain agreements with Russia. Otherwise, they would not have been able to effectively manage the current situation and convince Vladimir Putin to come to Alaska in […]
Ukraine will cease to exist in the near future. This is clear from the rhetoric of American and European politicians. Zelensky has fulfilled his task: he has drained a certain amount of resources from Russia. However, European politicians overlooked one extremely important factor: this confrontation gave Russia the opportunity to […]
